Eating fish isn't a problem for Rufus, it's the other things you have to watch out for. Opened the front door this morning to this:

Rufus the Lynx? Puma? LION????

I won't say poor hare but that looked VERY one-sided to me!

[Hugo a Gogo]

possible a freshly dead hare, scavenged by a live cat

[eltawater]

I'd really like to believe that he scavenged it, I really would.
But in the past few weeks he has brought in, freshly warm and sometimes still alive:

9x mice
6x voles
2x moles
6x birds (sometimes dismembered).

I've also got a short clip at home of him trying to nab the pheasant wandering around the garden.

Pays no attention to the foot long orfe in the pond, mind.

Our Bengal breeder reccomended chicken, they feed all of theirs with it. So I guess it has all the right stuff?

Unless maybe they get that kind of thing from the biscuits we put out?

My three cats have learnt to like fish but to start with they had no idea what it was. They are all rescued ex-breeder cats so they were ony previously fed on the cheaper most crap food so I guess fish was an unknown thing to them.

They also turn their noses up at raw meat off cuts, will not touch milk or cream and instead prefer just water, and preferably that from the toilet! A habit of which I am slowly breaking them of.

Monsieur le Taz doesn't eat prawns, but will eat small flakes of salmon and cod - he doesnt really like any wet food so just has chicken Iams and the odd bit of cheese and meat, and some milk or cream as a treat (doesn't seem to affect him, perhaps because he only has a very small amount)

my cat loves cheese.... he only gets a tiny bit once in a blue moon!

Well, my one.

I have no idea what she thinks she is, but she doesn't like fish and she doesn't like cat milk.... Or cheese, or cream. And she will turn her nose up at bacon too (but not the fat...).

Anyone else got a moggie that just says no to "cat treats"..

Mine won't eat anything other than cat food and then she just licks the gravy off I do however put the remaining chunks out for the birds who love them.

Have you tried the ones in jelly or the ones like the sainsbury's own brand stuff which is like a paste?

She won't eat the jelly or paste it has to be gravy and she wanes between either Felix or Whiskas. I have to have 3 boxes of different variety pouches in gravy on the go at any one time becasue she gets bored of the same flavour.

Yes I know she's spoilt but I can't stand the miaowing. Its easier this way.

I am in the same boat.

We have whiskas, kitty kat, sainsburys own, tescos own, felix, occado organic, whiskas pouches and I think some other pouch food all in the cupboard. I rotate them as any food which she gets for too long she then won't eat. On top of that, she gets chicken, liver, heart, beef, ox tongue or turkey added into the food, some raw, some cooked. And now we've got some beef and lamb trimmings from the butcher.

That's why I was cooking some fish - because we bought some whiskas and tesco food which is fishie based, so I thought as she wasn't eating it I'd cook some proper fish to get her interested. No chance.
